Ok so i'm almost done building this S5 6 port NA Using the Mustang Dual throttle body, now my question is, Since the turboIIs have a IAT on the elbow of the throttle body thats where i would normally wire the Air temp sensor (black wire) on the microtech LT-8s Too, but since i'm NA and i'm using the Ported Stock 6port lower (easier to get brake booster and vac lines and coolent lines for winter also) and the Racing Beat Upper to IDA manifold and i'm having a adapter plate from the IDA to Mustang flange made,
Where would be the best spot to put the Intake air temp sensor? closer to the motor or closer to the throttle body? or in-between?

any real input is appreciated

 

For the NA stock manifolds, the sensor is in the "dynamic chamber", the portion between the upper manifold and the throttle body. Anywhere in the upper manifold should work fine. You could even put it in the tubing between the TB and the filter if you wanted. As long as it's not going to be directly effected by heat soak, it should read the same for the most part anywhere in the intake tract for NA.

 

thanks for your input i was planning on putting it on the upper manifold on the racing beat to ida upper
